TL;DR: In this paper, it is asserted that examination of the endometrium during the secretory phase yields more information about the time of ovulation degree of progestational change and normality of the Endometrium than any other test used in sterility studies.

TL;DR: Involuntary childlessness in three despite normal Fallopian tubes, one ectopic in 147 intrauterine pregnancies, and chronic abdominal pain in five cases were found.

TL;DR: Serum gonadotropin, estrogen, and androgen levels were measured in samples obtained from 19 patients with polycystic ovarian disease (PCO) and from 10 normal women on day 2 to 4 of their menstrual cycles to show a distinct profile of gonadotropic levels.

TL;DR: Pregnancy may be allowed to continue under close supervision in cases of uncertainty of duration of gestation, in gravidas carrying small babies, in young primigravidas, and in multigravida in whom placentofetal function tests are normal.

TL;DR: Standardized treatment applied uniformly to all cases of eclampsia at Parkland Memorial Hospital has consisted of magnesium sulfate intravenously and intramuscularly to control convulsions, and steps to effect vaginal delivery as soon as the woman has regained consciousness.

TL;DR: Acute atherosis of the myometrial segments of the uteroplacental arteries from pre-eclamptic pregnancies was studied by electron microscopy.

TL;DR: Most of the renin in liquor amnii and plasma exists in an inactive form which can be activated by acidification to pH 3.3, and in first trimester plasma, the proportion inactive was greater than in term plasma.

TL;DR: The underlying pathophysiology of stress incontinence is considered in detail, since its fundamental understanding serves as the basis for both accurate diagnosis and proper selection and effective execution of the operations designed to correct true anatomic stressincontinence.

TL;DR: Pregnant rhesus monkeys near term were anesthetized with pentobarbital, resulting in episodic aggravations of the already existent fetal asphyxia brought about by stress stimulation of the mother, interpreted as resulting from activation of the maternal sympathetic nervous system causing vasoconstriction throughout the abdominal viscera and an accompanying retardation in intervillous space perfusion.

TL;DR: Human chorionic membrane and human placental tissue contain substances with the same elution volume as hypothalamic TRF and LRF standards during separation by carboxyl-methyl-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography.

TL;DR: The bacteriology of acute pelvic inflammatory disease was studied in 20 patients by simultaneous cul-de-sac, cervical, and blood cultures with aerobic and fastidious anaerobic techniques, and the gonococcus appears to be paving the way for secondary invaders from the normal vaginal flora to gain access to the upper genital tract.

TL;DR: In infants born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid, immediate tracheal suction is a safe procedure that significantly lowers the morbidity and mortality rates and produces no further respiratory depression of the infant.

TL;DR: While total maternal serum calcium declines during pregnancy because of the physiologic hypoalbuminemia, the level of ionic calcium remains constant, in part, at least, because of increasing maternal PTH output.

TL;DR: Several modifications in the amniocentesis and selective abortion procedure which might diminish the concomitant emotional trauma are suggested.

TL;DR: The clinical usage of intrapartum fetal monitoring has increased dramatically in the past few years Understanding of the pathophysiologic significance of FHR patterns has been further elucidated, but quantitation and prediction on an individual basis at times present a practical clinical dilemma as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A pregnant patient in the midtrimester of pregnancy was begun on a methadone detoxification program and showed a marked fetal response of the adrenal gland (E) and sympathetic nervous system (NE) that was blunted when the methamphetamineadone dose was increased.

TL;DR: Although there was a 3 1/2-fold increase in the incidence of low five-minute Apgar scores (less than 7) in the meconium group, signs of fetal distress were not significantly different from those in the nonmeconium group.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the name of this tumor, "adenoma malignum," be replaced by "minimal deviation adenocarcinoma of the cervix," because with proper therapy this tumor is no more malignant than one would expect for a highly differentiated adenOCarcinomas.

TL;DR: The increased incidence of deaths and morbidity in twin pregnancy, as compared to singleton pregnancy, was attributed to prematurity, and to complications and diseases pertaining to prem aturity, rather than to twinning per se.

TL;DR: The data suggest that calcitonin may be of physiologic significance in bone formation during intrauterine life and childhood and high serum iCT may also be responsible for the hypocalcemia seen in the neonatal period.

TL;DR: All patients with pelvic malignancy (whether primary in cervix, vagina, bladder, urethra, rectum, or vulva) should be considered potential candidates for exenteration.

TL;DR: A prospective study of the treatment of 119 patients with Stage I carcinoma of the cervix by radical hysterectomy alone or radiotherapy alone was undertaken between Jan. 1, 1956, and May 31, 1966, finding differences were not statistically significant.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of "stress" monitoring (monitoring in the presence of uterine contractions) are presented and the term "oxytocin challenge test" is used in reference to "stressed" monitoring even though sometimes the contractions were spontaneous, or without oxytocin stimulation.

TL;DR: An operative approach less radical than radical vulvectomy, inguinal dissections, and/or pelvic lymphadenectomy is proposed for selected patients with squamous cancers of the vulva less than 2 cm in size.

TL;DR: There is a positive correlation between the incidence of intrapartum maternal and fetal monitoring and postpartum maternal bacteremia and the patterns of bacterial isolation should be acknowledged in antibiotic strategies for septic patients.

TL;DR: Five cases of pregnancy-induced hypertension complicated by acute liver disease and DIC are presented and specific therapeutic recommendations are discussed and pathophysiologic mechanisms are suggested.

TL;DR: It seems that a technique which is as atraumatic and as bloodless as possible gives good results, by means of electrosurgery, refined to a form of microsurgery.

TL;DR: Eight cases of hydatidiform mole with coexistent fetus are presented with special considerations of diagnosis and management and none of the patients in this series developed maligant trophoblastic neoplasia.
